Pinterest - Account Deactivated - Image 2
Original review updated Jun 10, 2025

Was trying to edit my age on Pinterest (my mother put my frist age wrong) , using the third party I did the face scan and Card scan. Everytime kept getting saying "Got it!

We will review the information and get back to you". Not even 5 minutes later I get a automatic email saying you account was deactivated. Went to appeal yesterday so i haven't heard anything yet, The ID i used was my learners permit (My mother wanted me to use it to change my age my mother also told me it was a state ID so i picked that option.)They said I broke rules and regulations and that I have posted stuff that went against there terms of service when I have only been drawing a black female character with other character like Luffy from one piece and other characters.

(my mother actually encouraged me to start posting and gave me permission ) . They also said they couldn't confirm i wasnt old enough...(i am 15 and in the permit has a photo of me, my age and birthday, only difference is that im not wearing my glasses in my permit photo due the glare.)

Please solve this.

Cons:
  • Loosing my account
  • Ai art posted on the cite
  • Robotic responses

Preferred solution: Reactivate my account back.

User's recommendation: If you are trying to change your age do not do it. Its not worth it i would have just rather left it alone if i knew this would happen but I didn't want to get banned for lying...

I'm very upset right now.

My account was deactivated

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Pinterest - My account was deactivated
Pinterest - My account was deactivated - Image 2

I have had my account for over a year now, and the app is great; it's so much fun I never get bored by it. However, a few days ago, I tried to log in to do some scrolling, and the app tells me that my account was deactivated since I have apparently violated some of their policies.

I wasn't aware of this happening, and I'm sure that I haven't done anything wrong on this app. Obviously, I am very confused at first and think that it might just be a glitch, but I end up emailing the company, letting them know what had happened, and I get an email back letting me know that my account was suspended and that they will get back to me. I have been emailing the company quite a lot since I really don't want to lose my account but haven't really gotten anywhere. I still can't access my account, and the company hasn't really gotten back to me.

I'm not sure if this is relevant or if it goes against any of their policies, but I will also mention that a few days before my account was deactivated, I also installed the app on my iPad, and everything was working perfectly for a while until this happened. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the app being installed on two devices, and even if it does, I wasn't let know that something could have happened to my account because of it. Now I can't log in to my account on my phone (Android) or iPad either. I am more disappointed than angry since this is a great app, and I would and have recommended it to my family and friends.

However, this is really upsetting to me since that account had lots of things saved on it, and it was very dear to me. I really hope that I don't end up losing a whole year's worth of memories permanently over something that I wasn't aware of doing, and that they unsuspend my account or at least make the effort to get back to me and not make another AI email me.

Pros:
  • Saving ideas and building your own personality
  • Creating your own boards with your own ideas
  • Saving as many pins as you want
Cons:
  • Up until my account was suspended there was absolutely no cons

Preferred solution: My account unsuspended

User's recommendation: I would definitely recommend this app and have already in the past to others but Pinterest I've heard of other accounts being suspended wrongly and I am begging for you to fix this problem since it would be such a shame for so many to lose their dear accounts.

Scam LLBean

Pinterest - Scam LLBean

Pinterest - Scam LLBean - Image 3

Hi, Recently, on the 23rd of May I made a purchase from llBean 72hr. Sale & would like to know if this site is a scam.

After making my purchase, a friend told me it was a scam, but I have already made my order & they accepted my credit card. I thought I could trust Pinterest & your ads, because I have made other purchases in the past on several other sites. I did call my credit card & now have a dispute filed, but I think you should know whats going on so others dont fall victim. I have to admit it was stupid of me to think these prices were legit, but I've had breast cancer, a mastectomy, & full knee replacement so I thought it would be nice to order clothes for next winter vacation.

I'm also a senior & should have known it was to good to be true, but again I trusted Pinterest.

I tried to cancel my order, but they already issued a payment thats actually pending & the order hasnt shipped yet. Right now its $50 & change, but they have my personal info & that worries me.

Thanks

Linda

I didn’t make the comment but I’m sure (and I agree) they meant “lacking awareness “ not “rude” as I think you are taking it. The fact that you did not verify the sale existed on their verified site illustrates so.

Pinterest is very transparent in their terms and conditions for ads. A pin cannot offer to sell anything that is harmful.

A pin cannot imply or state that the offer is sanctioned or endorsed by Pinterest. The first stipulation is easy. The second?

Visit the official site in a new tab or window. Do not click on the link.

What DID YOU DO TO YOUR PINTEREST PAGE???

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
What DID YOU DO TO YOUR PINTEREST PAGE???

I have been loving your Pinterest page for years! It's an important part of my business for inspiration and also planning our projects.

Over the last few days, I have been unable to access pins when I click on them. On my computer, if I find a picture I want to enlarge and possibly explore the website (or whatever), the picture I click on completely disappears! If you guys planned for this to happen, it is possibly one of the most stupid decisions I've ever heard of. You have made it harder to use Pinterest.

Why? My mobile app got weird too. It's definitely more difficult to click on a picture and explore or save, etc. Why?

Please go back to the previous edition of Pinterest. It was easy to use, and I loved it.

Please go back to the original... Cathy

Random Account Deactivation

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Pinterest - Random Account Deactivation

My account was unfairly deactivated as apart of the mass banning, and they refused to give it back because I "violated the guidelines" but it's mainly because of other people's pins that I've saved; and instead of solely punishing the person who uploaded the pin it punishes everyone involved which is ludicrous. I've had my pinterest for years and I've collected years of references and they're all gone.

Plus their customer service sucks; they take days to respond and refuse to elaborate on anything. It's crazy how they treat their userbase so horribly.

It deactivated my account for no reason

Pinterest - It deactivated my account for no reason

Hi I have had this app for a good while now, and I have never had this happen to me before. I was minding my business, and I was going on Pinterest to get an idea for an outfit in a game and when I tried to go into it.

It said that my account was deactivated, and I was like maybe it's a glitch, so I got rid of it and got it back and when I tried to log back into it. It said the same thing. And I was like I didn't do anything to get it deactivated and there was no reason for it to be deactivated. And they didn't even give me a warning that they were going to deactivate my account, so I'm confused on why they did that.

They also didn't give me a reason why it was getting deactivated. So please fix my account please, or I'm going to call and give you guys a piece of my mind, and I'm being nice as possible so get back to me soon thank you!!!

I went to go open the Pinterest app, and it logged me out, so I logged back in, and it said my account was deactivated. But I never deactivated my account, so I sent an email to fill out a report, and they emailed me back saying my message didn't go through when they emailed me saying they got my report.

So they told me to fill it out again, so I did that, but they emailed me saying they didn't get my message and they want me to fill it out again. So I tried to call Pinterest, but the first time they hung up on me.

Then the second time they answered, but then they hung up, and I'm just trying to figure out why my account got deactivated or suspended when I didn't do anything. I just scroll through Pinterest and look at pins.

I have been dealing with unwanted boards that I never created named social. I tried deleting or at least making all three boards private to try and get rid of them, it continues to add boards.

I need to resolve this issue because I have worked hard on my Pinterest to keep it nice and neat. I dont want to continue to deal with boards I never created, and cannot delete.

Please help me figure out how to get MY PINTEREST back to where it should be. Only edited under my control because its my account, thank you

Pinterest Deleted My Account and Multiple Boards I had created over years

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I had been using Pinterest for more than 15 years. I used it for all kinds of boards, including shopping links, history websites, aviation and airline history, tributes to our past and present pets, tributes to loved ones who had passed on, images of places to visit, outdoors, animals, birds, flowers, sewing, cooking, TV, movies, music, YouTube, books to read next, and all kinds of boards to share and use as personal reference. The boards represented hours and years of building.

All of a sudden, I had a pin removed because it was a book cover of a book I wanted to read next. No biggie, I was fine with that. Within a few days, my account just vanished. I could not post, could not sign on, and I had a message that my account was suspended and removed for some unknown 'violations.' I appealed this per their email and only got a 'form' reply that the appeal was denied. I appealed again with more detail, explaining I had no idea what the problem was. Again, I only got a form denial reply.

After a few weeks, I created a new account and used it sparingly as I was not too trustful at this point. Within a couple of days, that account was deleted also; same form letter, no explanation. It seems they not only deleted my entire account but also banned me.

I am more than pissed, and I will warn anyone here and now that Pinterest deleted accounts with no actual way to appeal or get an explanation. I am totally done with them.

You already said what you did. They're over you and blocking anything from your IP. It's time to forget about Pinterest and move on to something else.

Pinterest - Deactivated my account for no reason and has not given it back

They have deactivated my original account for what seems to be no reason. I have tried for weeks to get into my account and reactivate it, but they haven't helped me, I've emailed and tried to call but have gotten nothing in turn.

I truly just want my account reactivated, I have quite a lot on it.

Not only that, but I've had that account for years, so I have many things on it. I deleted and redownload it and everything.

Removed images

Pinterest - Removed images

Hello, I am making this message because so many of my saved pins were removed. It is unnecessary, they were just animals drawn next to children.

If you look at the photos, there's nothing to remove.

Not only these but so many pins just get removed abruptly. Could they atleast be previewed to me so i can download the images?
